Westcott Intros Omega Reflector and Encore Inverter Power Pack

Cynthia Boylan | Nov 20, 2014

Westcott has launched two new proudcts: the new Omega Reflector and the Encore Inverter power pack.

The Omega Reflector is a 10-in-1 shoot-through reflector. Measuring 38x45-inches, it combines the effect of a traditional reflector with a beauty dish and a ring flash. The Omega Reflector provides a main light and backlight with a single light source, while keeping the reflector safely out of frame. It features a one-stop diffusion panel with an easy to change white, silver, sunlight and black cover.

The diffusion surface softens overhead lighting or flash and the white surface softens and reflects the light. The silver surface fills in the shadows (and add specularity), the sunlight surface adds warmth to skin tones and the black surface adds shadows or blocks the light.

Unlike traditional reflectors the Omega has a removable 2:3 center frame. The double-riveted square frame allows for easy mounting to provide a large surface area. Suction cups are included for mounting to glass surfaces and a durable travel case (with shoulder strap) is also included for travel and storage.
